I borrowed the "noexec,noauto,users,gid=100" bit from another thread, and I freestyled the "/media/usb" and "vfat" parts. I had to create the "usb" folder in the /media folder.

The only issue -which may not be an issue- is that I was under the impression that the noexec and noauto lines would require me to manually mount the flash drive. When I plug it in, it opens up automatically, and I can access my stuff.

[to anyone viewing this] Should I be concerned at all?

The "noexec" option prevents files from being executed directly. It is commonly used for globally writable partitions like /tmp.

The "noauto" option will prevent "mount -a" from trying to boot the device when you boot up. This would cause a hang if the device weren't plugged in.
